Continuous testing means testing an application continuously throughout the software life cycle. It’s a critical part of CI/CD and—like any other part—should be automated.

Automation is one of the keys to consistent and meaningful AppSec adoption in an evolving world. Many organizations have taken the first step in integrating their development and operations teams to drive more efficient delivery of applications and innovation to the market. They have come a long way by aligning around the shared goal of delivering stable, high-quality software quickly. One way they are achieving these efficiencies is through automation. Automation in DevOps By automating manual processes and building tools into continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) pipelines, development and operations teams have increased workflow efficiencies and trust between groups, which is essential as these once-disparate teams now merge to tackle critical issues as a single new team. We see the use and expansion of automation in the integration of tools such as GitLab for version control, Jenkins for CI, Jira for defect tracking, and Docker for container integration within toolchains. These tools work together to create a cohesive automated environment designed to allow organizations to focus on delivering higher-quality innovation faster to the market. Automation in DevSecOps Organizations are also realizing there is value in applying and sharing the value of automation by incorporating security principles earlier in the software development life cycle (SDLC). This creates shorter feedback loops and decreases friction, which allows engineers to detect and fix security and compliance issues faster and more naturally as part of software development workflows.
